I read Bundy’s comments, 3 times in different articles. IMO, Bundy’s words were racist.

“Negros” are far from being the only recipients of welfare. A trip through Appalachia will reveal whole communities of “white negroes” who never bothered to learn how to pick cotton or do meaningful work. A primary means of earning extra money there is moonshining or burglary.

Moral conservatives do know better - than to side with racists, regardless of who else opposes the racist.

I will not compromise my morality to support such evil as racism. Liberals also abhor (most) murderers. Should I then side with conservative killers?

What you are espousing is exactly what immoral Liberals support: Morality based on politics, selective morality based on whose side you are on. That's not conservatism.

Wrong. What I espouse in the freedom for a man to speak his mind plainly. To express his views no matter how it offends your sensibilities. If a man chooses to have low opinions about other races or ethnicities, he certainly has that right no matter how offensive or misguided it is. Last I checked, harboring racist views isn’t illegal…like say murder. Well, maybe to you it should be. If that’s the case, you will have a lifetime of liberals to prosecute before ever getting to any conservative.

Cliven Bundy said nothing maliciously racist. Were Negroes kept in slavery and picked cotton on plantations? Yep. I guess it’s racist to speak of historical facts. Maybe what you meant was his analogy between slavery on the plantations and depending heavily on government subsidies and the plight of the ghetto culture. If that’s the case, then Star Parker, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, et al, are racists.

What you’re doing is joining the howling crescendo of liberal race-baiters who see racists and bigots behind every word or deed. The battle lines have been drawn and you have chosen sides. Quite honestly, I would rather have one Cliven Bundy with all his glaring faults standing on my side than one hundred sanctimonious “conservative” snobs who would run from a fight…or worse yet, provide aid and comfort to the enemies of liberty. Go and bury your head in the sand. It seems you don’t have the stomach for what lies ahead.
